13 August 2022 — A variety of day and weekend Scouting programs are planned for this fall at Camp Workcoeman. These activities include both Scouts BSA and Cub Scout events as well as adult Scouter training opportunities.
Scouts will have the opportunity to finish any incomplete ‘partial’ merit badges during this program at Camp Workcoeman. Scouts must list the badges they would like to work on when registering. This is a morning program only, concluding at 12:00 PM; no meals are provided.
This Program is meant to provide Scouts with the opportunity to earn at least a portion of a merit badge that is required to become an Eagle Scout. In addition to the merit badge class, there will also be a session where Scouts are taught about the Eagle Scout requirements, including the Eagle Service Project and, most importantly, leadership.
Merit badges offered include: Citizenship in the Nation, Citizenship in the World, Emergency Preparedness, First Aid, and Hiking.
This is an opportunity for Scouts to earn a sportsman related merit badge. The badges being offered are: Climbing, Archery, Rifle Shooting, Shotgun Shooting, and Sports. The program runs 8:30 AM – 4:30 PM and the $45 registration fee includes lunch.
This program focuses on hiking and orienteering requirements connected with the Second Class and First Class ranks, including completing a five mile hike through the back woods of Camp Workcoeman. The event runs 8:30 AM – 4:30 PM and the $45 registration fee includes a trail lunch. Scouts will receive a sheet listing the requirements completed on this day to bring back to their troops.
Camp Workcoeman is located in the hills of northwest Connecticut in scenic New Hartford and Barkhamsted. The camp consists of approximately 427 acres on the shore of beautiful West Hill Pond, possibly the cleanest in Connecticut.
Established in 1924, it is one of the oldest continuously operated Scout camps in the country. For 98 years, thousands of Scouts and Scouters have had unforgettable Scouting experiences at Camp Workcoeman. This fine tradition of Scouting continues today.
